Where they fail
Share of tests with at least one failure in each area, against cars of the same age.
A test can fail in more than one area. Failures fixed during the test are included.
Most common failures
The 10 defects that failed Nissan Patrol tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 3.7% | 4.5% | 0.8× | 0.0% |
| Rigid brake pipes: excessively corroded Brakes | 3.6% | 1.8% | 2.0× | 0.0% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 2.9% | 2.9% | 1.0× | 0.0% |
| Wheel bearings: has excessive play Suspension | 2.8% | 0.5% | 5.6× | 0.0% |
| Stop lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 2.7% | 3.2% | 0.8× | 0.0% |
| Service brake performance: efficiency below requirements Brakes | 2.6% | 0.8% | 3.3× | 0.0% |
| Washers: not working Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 2.5% | 1.4% | 1.8× | 0.0% |
| Chassis condition: or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of a body mounting Body and structure | 2.4% | 0.8% | 3.0× | 0.0% |
| Registration plate lamp(s): inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps Lights and electrics | 2.0% | 1.6% | 1.3× | 0.0% |
| Component mounting prescribed areas: prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength Suspension | 1.9% | 3.1% | 0.6× | 0.0% |
“vs same age” compares this model with cars of the same age: 2.0× means twice as often. “Marked dangerous” is how often the tester recorded that failure as dangerous.
